Day 13

What’s the most widely used mail encryption method?

  • GNU Privacy Guard
  • STARTTLS
  • PGP and S/MIME
  • DANE or MTA-STS
  • Bitmessage

I think that is PGP and S/MIME

Should that be STARTTLS instead of STARTLES?

PGP and S/MIME


I’m on team PGP and S/MIME as well. Given Marco hasn’t answered we’re probably all wrong.

Nono you’re all right, I was waiting for tomorrow and leave some time to let all partecipate :)


PGP stands for “Pretty Good Privacy” and it’s the most widely used as email encryption system. When sending a message using PGP, the message is converted into unreadable ciphertext before it passes over the Internet. Only the recipient has the key to convert the text back into a readable message on their device.
